British police have concluded their investigation into punk-rap duo Bob Vylan over chants made during their performance at the Glastonbury Festival, announcing that no further action will be taken due to insufficient evidence.
The incident occurred in June during the band's set at the renowned music festival in Somerset, where frontman Bobby Vylan led the crowd in chanting "death, death to the IDF" - a reference to the Israel Defense Forces amid ongoing debates over the Israel-Gaza war. The performance drew international backlash, particularly from pro-Israel groups who accused the band of inciting hatred, prompting Avon and Somerset Police to launch a probe into potential violations of public order or hate speech laws.
